It's actually not that bad, tastes a little like rabbit but you have to cook it real slow otherwise it goes tougher than a steak you let the missus cook ;D

I'm pissed off at the incompetence of Eastwood's shipping department. I ordered an aluminum and stainless buffing kit and they botched the order. I was supposed to receive Emery, Tripoli, Stainless and White compounds in the kit, but they screwed up and sent me two Tripoli and no Stainless  >:( .

I got nuttin to whine about dangit. OK I wish them bathroom walls would paint themselves so the floor guy can finish and I could set fixtures and get back into the shop and put the new tires on the F1.

Fcuking Eastwood, he hasn't made a decent movie since Magnum Force, and now he's fcuking up Raffi's order! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Haha good one!

Good news is that I sent a strongly worded email to their customer support last night, and this morning I got a prompt call from them. They're shipping out the missing compound and asked me not to bother with returning the extra one. I'm still pissed because I'm losing time, riding season is half way through and the midwest hasn't seen a more mild and beautiful summer like this one in ages.

I come home from work to greet my wife who's in a semi basket case frame of mind because she found out her grandmother passed this morning, I'm not pissed but I definitely don't like seeing my wife sad. Not a good way to start out a weekend.

I've got to go to the hospital with the missus & watch her Mum slowly die.  Did the same thing just over a year ago with her Dad.  Trouble is, after 25+ years you kinda get fond of the in-laws...

Sorry to hear from you folks losing loved ones.  Can't say I know how you feel but I have been there, sucks more than anything.  Take a long ride and think of their legacy.

I'm really pissed off today, we've started rolling the new defence contract out in Darwin, and I'm not there. My mate rang me yesterday to say he's been given the job of rolling out the stores service, and knows nothing about stores, so I rang my operations manager and told him that I was needed up there to ensure a seamless transition, so he's gonna talk to our state manager today, so with luck, I'll be spewing in Micks veggie patch in no time at all! ;D

She'll be right mate.
We'll just fire up the muncher and mix it all in then nobody will know the difference.  ;D

Finally got the RM floated out to site yesterday arvo.
What a bloody mission that was to tick all of the boxes for compliance.
The boys had a tube of silicon sealant in the tool box but they didn't have an MSDS (SDS) for it so we had to download and print the fcuka and stick it into to folder with the rest of 'em before they'd give us clearance.

We flew a couple of our operators (Steering Wheel Attendants) into Darwin and they've been whinging about the bloody heat since they got here.
It isn't that hot here and all they want to do is to go to the pub and suck cold piss after work.
Well, the rules are that they get tested on the brotheliser every morning, and if they blow any numbers, it'll be straight back onto the plane from where they came from and that's pissing them right off.  ;D

That's a grouse piece of equipment Mick, but I feel sorry for your drivers, if I got sent home for every time I've turned up for work with a hangover, I would have spent half of my working life at home........... ;D

I reckon that the missus might arc up if I did a bit of soil stabilisation in her garden with the lad.
She gets pissed off when I fire up the John Deere with half a dozen Wild Turkeys on board and reverse into the rhododendrons.
They just don't understand sometimes.  ;D

Trevor

My in-laws are definitely a lively group of characters but I look at it from the point of view that they raised the woman I love so there must be something good about them. :) When I ride the 750 to work I always stash my cell phone under the seat and never bother checking it while I'm at work so I didn't get the news until I got home which by that time my wife had already cried all day and tears had dried up by the time I got home. She was still rattled though because she was then obsessed with finding a particular picture of her grandmother so I spent the evening with her going through EVERY photo album and boxes of pictures looking for that pic. 25 years of marriage and you tend to amass a lot of pictures you know what I mean? We found every other pic of her grandmother but not the one she was looking for. The irony of it all is that it was her grandmother that passed but I'm the one that gets 3 days off with pay for bereavement leave while she has to go to work today. She's an accountant and the only one at her employer so she has to show up.

I'm pissed off because my old mate Danny is very ill, he's also really lucky. He has 4 blood clots that have already passed through his heart and lodged in his lungs, one lung collapsed, he's not a happy chappy and plenty sore, poor bugger spent the last week or so in a critical care ward next to intensive care. The week before it all happened he was complaining about deep muscle pain in his left calf muscle, seems thats where the clots originated. I've been running round like a chook without a head the last couple of weeks trying to help him out as much as possible, he has one very lazy arsed son thats pisses me off as well, self interested little pr1ck.... >:(

Jesus RR that's what I got after they stopped and started my heart a couple of times
it is a major pain in the ass but now they have a blood thinner that works like a champ, now if it didn't #$%* up my stomach life would be good. If he can get this present #$%* out of the way tell him to ask about xarelto if he can go on it, it means that he can still drink beer. As far as self interested pricks go, they'll always be with us look at the politicians.

Morning Bill, he's on warfarin as a blood thinner at the moment but he's in plenty of pain, they are not sure if he's actually lost part of his left lung, they suspect part of it may have died.... I hate seeing my mate in poor shape...

Jesus RR that's what I got after they stopped and started my heart a couple of times

One of my workmates had his heart stopped then re-started a couple of years ago Bill, because it was going crazy and they couldn't slow his heart rate. Anyway, he was fine after that, but just before Christmas he was watching a movie (his wife had just gone to bed) and when he got up to go to bed, his heart just stopped, and he did a nose dive into the glass coffee table.

This woke his wife up, she ran out and shook him, and his heart started, then stopped again. This continued to happen until the paramedics arrived and took him to hospital. They installed a temporary pacemaker then flew him to hospital in Melbourne where they fitted a permanent pacemaker. He was back at work in a couple of months and tells me that he's never felt fitter, which is amazing.

I asked him what would have happened if he hadn't stood up just as his heart stopped, and he said if he'd just collapsed on the couch, his wife wouldn't have found him until he was cold the next morning. He was a lucky boy........... ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
